Mine of evidence: 324 million underground hits in a year with 88% from messaging platforms, 449k hits for credential stuffers and 144k for OpenBullet 2; a live demo runs OpenBullet 2 against a demo e‑commerce site and returns a valid account using a three‑line combo list. Phishing shows 549k mentions and a local build with EvilFish reproduces credential capture from a cloned portal. Malware sampling cracks VDAR Stealer, links it to an admin panel and extracts saved browser credentials from a test VM. Defenses: MFA, rate limits, password policies, domain monitoring and underground leak feeds.
